Ep 87: Bob Seger, Part One: "Early Seger" (1966 - 1979)
This is Part One of Play That Rock n' Roll's retrospective about the legendary career of BOB SEGER. In this episode, we cover the early days of "The Bob Seger System", Bob's breakthrough live album, and the start of one of the best "hot streaks" of releases in Classic Rock history. We also discuss a bizarre parody song Bob recorded in the '60s, what inspired the lyrics of "Turn the Page", and the massive hit song he co-wrote for the Eagles. We will discuss Bob's later years in Part 2.
To give further insight into some of the topics covered, I have included clips from my conversation with music journalist Gary Graf, who co-wrote a book about Bob's early career. I also included a selection of my conversation with Brian Colburn of the My Weekly Mixtape podcast about one of Bob's best albums.
